"May your Tree of Life remain ever green"; "May your path be filled with green and gold"; "May your life's journey be accompanied by verdant trees and gentle breezes" are common phrases they use.

Many people believe that elves spend their entire lives singing, which is inseparable from the characteristics of their language.
